  2. Clif says:

    Walt MSNBC replays Olbermann at midnight eastern.


  3. Jay Randal says:

    Cool pic at least the press is trying to cover the Cheneygate shooting incident!


  4. Marie says:

    Walt, I hope you can catch the re-run. I see Clif just noted the same.
    Olbermann’s news show is the only good one on MSNBC.


  5. Styve says:

    I seriously doubt he was hunting on the way to work…especially in DC!! My bet is that he moonlights as a crossing guard!!

    What a maroon!! Another thought…he has an Elmer Fudd complex!!

    In Theaters This Summer…”Dick Cheney’s Naked Prey” – an Oliver Stone film based on true events.

    Stripped, weaponless, alone and only ten desperate seconds ahead of Dick Cheney!

    Plot Summary: A group of men are on a bird hunting trip in Texas. One of the party Harry Whittington, a millionaire attorney from Austin refuses to give a gift to the most powerful man in the world – the Vice President of the United States. Dick is offended…

    This film is not yet rated.

    I have an advance copy of the movie poster —> http://patrickjfitzgerald.blogspot.com

    Milbank wanted to brush aside any idea that alcohol may have been a factor in Cheney shooting Whittington. Considering that Cheney had been arrested twice in the past for DUI, the press has every right to raise that question.



  10. Merle says:

    According to Cheney’s office, it was Cheney’s hunting buddy’s fault that Cheney made the mistake and shot him in the face! I wonder if Cheney thinks he’s owed an apology for spoiling the Veep’s shot. It would be interesting to know what the hunters’ blood alcohol levels were at the time of the shooting and if that might have been a factor in their decision to delay reporting the accident. But, SHOOT, we’ll never know! Ahhh… I mean DON’T SHOOT.


  11. Texan Jesus says:

    What’s for dinner this Easter at the Cheney’s….DUCK!
    Ha! Ha! what a moron, I hope the guy he shot sues the shit out him. Repent!


  12. JIMBO says:

    The guy that Dickless “accidentally” shot is a Republican donor. Looks like Dickless has lost any chance for financial support from him to become dictator come 2008.

    Did you catch The Daily Show? Boy, did Jon and the Gang do a number on Dickless or what? I’m watching Letterman and Biff Henderson is running around with a rifle accidentally shooting people.

    I bet Dickless is in his bunker crying for his mommy.


  13. Simon Bolivar says:

    If you want to see him in the orange beanie, you need to tune in immediately because as I remember it’s the #5 on top 5 stories so it’s first few mins of program. He’s takes it off after, but keeps on his orange mittens.

    The worst crimes were dared by a few, willed by more and tolerated by all.

  14. JIMBO says:

    Dana Milbank could bitchslap Ann Coulter out of existence.


  15. cynical ex-hippie says:

    Hell yeah, anytime there’s a Cheney interview scheduled, reporters don the bright orange “don’t shoot me” apparel.

    He probably has a flack jacket under that.


  16. cynical ex-hippie says:

    JIMBO, don’t disparage the masculinity of Dana Milbank, OR Ann Coulter!

    :)


  17. Xeno says:

    Is that an asshat on Milbanks’ head?


  18. JPV says:

    Hmmm, now this makes you wonder about all the crazy conspiracy stories from “alledged” MK Ultra victim Cathy O’Brien…

    http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/dangerous_game.htm

    Dick Cheney, then White House Chief of Staff to President Ford, later Secretary of Defense to President George Bush, documented member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), and Presidential hopeful for 1996, was originally Wyoming’s only Congressman. Dick Cheney was the reason my family had traveled to Wyoming where I endured yet another form of brutality–his version of “A Most Dangerous Game,” or human hunting.

    It is my understanding now that A Most Dangerous Game was devised to condition military personnel in survival and combat maneuvers. Yet it was used on me and other slaves known to me as a means of further conditioning the mind to the realization there was “no place to hide,” as well as traumatize the victim for ensuing programming. it was my experience over the years that A Most Dangerous Game had numerous variations on the primary theme of being stripped naked and turned loose in the wilderness while being hunted by men and dogs. In reality, all “wilderness” areas were enclosed in secure military fencing whereby it was only a matter of time until I was caught, repeatedly raped and tortured.

    Dick Cheney had an apparent addiction to the “thrill of the sport”. He appeared obsessed with playing A Most Dangerous Game as a means of traumatizing mind-control victims, as well as to satisfy his own sexual kinks. My introduction to the game occurred upon arrival at the hunting lodge near Greybull, Wyoming, and it physically and psychologically devastated me. I was sufficiently traumatized for Cheney’s programming as I stood naked in his hunting lodge office after being hunted down and caught. Cheney was talking as he paced around me, “I could stuff you and mount you like a jackalope and call you a two legged dear. Or I could stuff you with this (he unzipped his pants to reveal his oversized penis) right down your throat, and then mount you. Which do you prefer?

    I saw this while eating dinner and almost choked on chicken bone. Funny yes!


  20. WaltTheMan says:

    Marie and Clif,
    I caught it. It’s also in the thread now (#10, click on ‘Clip’ after the window opens). Bitte schoen.


  21. WaltTheMan says:

    Make that click on ‘LINK’. Senior moment.


  22. Granite State Destroyer says:

    Cheney shall now be referred to as Roast Dick.

    Couldn’t happen to a bigger douche-bag.

  23. Robert says:

    I see Michelle Malkin is unhinged over it…

    Get a sense of humor!


  24. Robert says:

    “Jon, tonight the vice president is standing by his decision to shoot Harry Whittington. According to the best intelligence available, there were quail hidden in the brush. Everyone believed at the time there were quail in the brush. And while the quail turned out to be a 78-year-old man, even knowing that today, Mr. Cheney insists he still would have shot Mr. Whittington in the face. He believes the world is a better place for his spreading buckshot throughout the entire region of Mr. Whittington’s face.” – Rob Corddry.




  25. Dana says:

    It was hilarious. He had orange gloves on as well.


  26. thot's n TN says:

    This thread is the most awesome laughing my azz off at dick cheney is he the azz of all jokes lol bet he is stroming red all over the lower white house lol


  27. thot's n TN says:

    I can’t look at Dana Milbank lol gawd this is soooo funnie…..


  28. Alex says:

    I dont understand why he is dressed like that.

    FEMA


  29. Vaughn D. Taylor says:

    I don’t want to burst bubbles, but he’s wearing a construction/roadworker safety vest. It would have been much better if he had gotten an actual hunting jacket in blaze orange. It would have been funnier, that’s all.


  30. Vaughn D. Taylor says:

    Oh, I just realized why this happened. Apparently, he was offered the opportunity to learn how to shoot a rifle, but he had “other priorities” at the time.


  31. big papa says:

    gezzz…what a stupid cheap shot photo op this guy is doing….duhhhhh

    Comment by wisedup #6

    Actually wisedup,

    It was pretty funny

    Milbank seems to finally see the light in regards to this criminal Bushite junta…

    As for you Stymied Styve go on back to doing what you Bushba*lickers do best…

    …you look better with your head up Bushiva’s a*s anyway…


  32. steve says:

    In this photo, he looks like Burt Lancaster.


  33. Evil Spaniard says:

    I’ve found Waldo!


  34. DS says:

    I laughed all night about this. He said he was dressed that way because he was in the NBC studio near the VP’s residence and didn’t want to take any unnecessary chances.

    He took the hat off almost immediately, but every time he moved his hands you could see the orange mittens.

    It was hysterically funny!


  35. quicksand says:

    One of the few times that I regrett not having cable still.


  36. CalGal says:

    This is why I love Keith Olbermann so much. He’s the only newscastet that has cajones! Thanks Dana for the chuckle.

    Also, let’s replace Chris Matthews with David Gregory!
